Pickaxes+
by Vxie
Pickaxes+ adds a set of cursed, enchanted pickaxes to a NeoForge world, each with its own unusual abilities and drawbacks.
What it does
The mod brings more than nine new pickaxes into survival play. Each one carries a distinct mining ability together with a side effect, and some behave in ways that are hard to predict. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The release for 1.21.4 is published for NeoForge only, with version 1.5 as the latest file, and the code is released under the MIT License without being open source.
